The Melusine has set sail 👀
There's already so much drama between the scientists lol. But they really went all out... oceanographers, animal behaviorists, sign language experts, organic chemists, the ship technology. It all doesn't matter if the mermaids get them though 😬
The alternating perspectives are so cool, we get to see all these different characters and relationships

Wow, how they managed to survive is CRAZY. Tory especially, I thought she was a goner lol
And to think the purpose of the sirens attacking ships was all to feed something much darker and greater 👀

It was too hopeful to think Tory died… sorry, I just really hate the romance bro. The plot is too crazy for me to care about them
My theory is that Imagine sent out all these scientists to die so that they could cover up the existence of mermaids. Far-fetched, but it would be interesting 👀
More people are dying by the sirens and the toxins. However, the captive one protected Hallie and Daniel??

Woah, I did not expect Jason to die like that. Not from one of the sirens, but from the poison of one of the tiny creatures in their hair 👀 He was so excited to be published, too
We’re still waiting for this mermaid showdown, but they think the mermaids communicate verbally through mimicry
Once again, some of the dialogue and jokes feel out of place since the rest reads so scientific :/

The mermaids (mermen rather?) are all grouping up, planning to mount an attack in different line formations, while they are all sitting ducks dissecting one in a lab. They’re acting like they have so much time lol. I guess they know deep down that they’re all going to die 😬
I will say, the romance is out of place, and it’s taking me out of the book. Also, repetition of sinuous line of a back 🙄

The mermaids claimed more victims… those poor dolphins 😢😭
They managed to trap one in the tank, and now they’re trying to sign and communicate with it. I know trying to escape would be futile at this point, but why are they literally doing nothing?? Like they’re all going to die. The mermaids sent their scouts and now they’re going to go in for the hunt 😬

The answer is yes 😬
All these brilliant scientists, having to carry on with their research like they’re not about to die on a doomed ship
The mermaids communicating via signs and sound is really cool. I’m interested to see if they figure out what type of creature they are. Are they sentient??
Seeing the dolphins is making me want to quit college and become a dolphin expert/trainer. They’re amazing

Oh my gosh 🫨
Nothing could have prepared me for that. That was actually sickening. Watching her try to escape as the mermaids kept attacking her pod and all the warnings kept going off. And then her pod starting to sink and the water starting to come in 😥
Well there’s their proof I guess. Are they all going to die trying to get more evidence??

Well this is unsettling…
They’re all sailing/diving into the waters around the Mariana Trench, and I can’t help but feel something bad is going to happen. Especially since the shutters are not working 😬
And the fish being lured and trapped by the mermaids, like they’re definitely here 👀
It’s cool how they all have their own little research labs onboard though

I can't believe they're sending another ship out to the Mariana Trench 😬 It's called The Melusine... and they got both Tory and Dr. Toth on board
Is this going to be a disaster? Probably. Bc I don't think they are really prepared for what's out there. But it will be interesting to see this research I guess 🤷🏻‍♀️

This reads so scientific, it’s so interesting!! The water, climate change, the sea creatures, the sounds, Tory’s research… it’s all so cool. I wish marine biologists were more in demand, it seems like a cool career path
I wonder if Tory is going to find these mermaids??

Gabby Also, I do not like the animal hunters they have on board. They're so gross ew. And the way they're going to use dolphins to scope out the area before going in?? Like why are we sacrificing innocent animals who do not have the power to say no?? And they are conveniently not telling people, because they know it's wrong smh. I thought Theo was better than that, but he's just Golden's assistant I guess


Gabby But I do like how Tory just said no to the camera and walked away. She and Jillian are already standing their ground like the scientists they are. I'm excited to see their relationship develop over this trip
